Label Port Valves

Port valves are general (piping) and instrument valves that include distinct ports to which pipes and other symbols may be attached. Unlike the connectors on standard valves, these ports may be labelled, and an identifier and a size allocated to them. The size may be specified by the user, or derived automatically from connected items. Port data is included in exports from P&IDs.

The List Item Details procedure can be used to quickly view the port id's and sizes of a port valve.

Port valves are labelled in the same way as general and instrument valves (the main body of the valve in the case of instrument valves), except that additional fields are provided related to specifying the port sizes.

Refer to Label Port Valves and Set Valve Ports Sizes to those of Connected Items.
